Starletta8's Summer of No Buy Support Thread

So, it's time to go on an extended no buy. I have more than I could ever enjoy for quite awhile. However, if you have gotten to know me a bit- it's going to be easier said than done!

So, this thread is hopefully going to be a support group for me- and anyone else who wants to join me in a summer of no buy.

The tricky thing is that I've got about 40% of my toner left and maybe 20% of my daytime moisturizer- and I see pan on my HG concealer. I have to buy the concealer since it's a staple product (and I have used up all of the other concealers that match my skin). I'd like to use up some skincare before repurchasing my daytime moisturizer- but if my skin reacts, I'll revisit the issue.

When will the no buy end? I'm not sure, but fall collections will be on counters, if not on the leaves!

Got some major sampleage at the shiseido event but I had to break on the no buy and I'm restarting now, got 2 deodorants from lavanilla the blackberry and grapefruit ones, and the givenchy very irresistible perfume rollerball to both get me to free shipping and the triple points, very excited for it to arrive so I can smell it though, worst case scenario I have a friend who loves it

I don't blame you I'm not sure who could pass that up I bet it was fun! Are you gonna swatch all the polishes when you get a chance? I'm not a very good support system on the no buy thing but I still luv ya no matter what you buy or don't buy

Today was tough... I got the best makeover of my life at the SiJCP Shiseido event... it was tough to stick to the approved list (supplies, not product) and not buy the whole face because it looks THAT amazing. I did get a list of the eye products though for after my no-buy. They hooked me up with samples though! Wow!

(I did slip a bit when I had to run into another SiJCP literally on the way to pick up curtains from another JCP... but you'll understand why. Ladies, they still had the Illamasqua speckled nail polish!!!! I nabbed Mottle (the mint one), the color I missed online/in-store. But my curtains were even cheaper than I thought, so I still spent less than I planned.)

As it was said to me by a former boss "I'd rather not see open toed shoes in the workplace because you see some bad feet. So if you're going to wear shoes that show your toes, do the world a favor and make sure they're ok first!"
